Baffling bedtime brainteasers that could help you sleep

A new set of bedtime themed brainteasers are leaving the nation scratching their heads before heading off to the land of nod.

Happy Beds has created puzzles in order to provide people with a relaxing bedtime activity – and challenged people to solve them within the quickest time. We’ve all heard that you should count sheep to help you gently drift off to sleep, and these puzzles take that literally.

Happy Beds is an independent bedroom and furniture retailer based in Batley, West Yorkshire. Founded in 2010, Happy Beds originally began as a third-party seller on Amazon and eBay before launching its own domain.
